Automatic interface element adjusting method and automatic interface element adjusting device

Abstract

An embodiment of the invention provides an automatic interface element adjusting method and an automatic interface element adjusting device. The automatic interface element adjusting method includes: acquiring an adding operation signal generated by adding a new interface element by a user, and determining the position for the to be placed new interface element and required space according to the adding operation signal; adjusting positions and sizes of interface elements on a first interface according to the position for the to be placed new interface element and required space when a left continuous space of the first interface is judged to be sufficient for the new interface element or not according to the position for the to be placed new interface element and required space, and enabling the left space of the adjusted first interface to be sufficient for holding the new interface element. The automatic interface element adjusting method has the advantages that positions and sizes of interface elements can be adjusted automatically when the space of the first interface is insufficient, so that the first interface is sufficient for holding the new interface element, manual operation on the interface elements is not required, better appearance can be brought to the user, and utilization efficiency of a user interface is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to computer technology, and in particular to a method and device for automatically adjusting interface elements. Background technique [0002] With the development of Internet technology, Widgets (also known as widgets) are widely used on electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. Widgets are tiny program views that can be embedded in other applications and accept regular update. It is common to embed widgets into the desktop. At present, the desktop is mostly a grid design. For example, a 4x4 grid or a 5x5 grid is used. In order to adapt to the design of the desktop, the widget must specify its own size. Usually, the size of the widget is a fixed size. . [0003] Since the size of the desktop grid is fixed, and the remaining continuous space of each screen on the desktop is different, if the widget has only one size, the flexibility of placing the widget on the desktop will be ...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the two methods in the prior art require the user to manually select or adjust, and the user's operation is cumbersome, which brings a bad experience to the user

Moreover, for the second method, it increases the difficulty of widget development, and currently there are few widgets that support this solution
